[ What the three candles mean to Anthony Marr: 1. The animals’ suffering. 2. Our struggles to free them from this suffering. 3. Our eventual victory and their eventual emancipation. He will express this by means of Chopin’s Nocturne Opus 9 #2 on his electronic keyboard, while the candles are being lit. ]

[ Anthony will be speaking on dolphin captivity being intimately related to dolphin slaughter, the cost of fur in the context of the Canadian commercial seal massacre, and the convoluted system of corruption in the relationship between the hunting tradition and industry, the culling operators and the almost universally prohunting governments on all levels, as well as why the governments are almost always prohunting. “Know yourself and know your enemy, and in a hundred battles you will have a hundred victories.” - Sun Tzu ]

[ While the previous session focuses on the problems, this session focuses on the solutions. Anthony’s solutions are almost always unconventional, involving his own inventions (e.g. the Deer Auto-Conveyor - DAC), and often effective. To gain maximum benefit from this session, the previous session is strongly recommended. ]

[ Anthony will be addressing the Canadian commercial seal hunt, the Japanese commercial dolphin slaughter, Japanese, Norwegian and Icelandic whaling, and the huge and spreading American deer massacre. Even if you have been working on these issues for years, you will still be astounded by some of the internal mechanisms and new developments. ]

Abuse of Wildlife on Land (videos and Q&A about hunting, trapping, and other abuse of animals in fields and forests) - Lawson, Marr, Muller

[ This session will concentrate on the burgeoning, escalating and proliferating mass slaughter of White-tailed deer, Black-tailed deer and Mule deer from coast to coast, both in terms of hunting and culling, as well as the planned extermination of the Fallow and Axis deer at Point Reyes CA. ]

[ “Back in 1995, I was a Chinese Canadian not too informed nor passionate about animal issues. Then, one day in spring, two AR activists in the form of Peter Knights and David Baker came to Chinatown to talk about the bear gall bladder trade. They engaged me, and I have never looked back. If it happened to me, it could happen to the other 1.3 billion Chinese people in the world, and Indians, and Japanese.” - Anthony Marr]

[ Exotic animals are beautiful and fascinating, but they are not pets. Other than that adult tigers and crocodiles and anacondas are physically and temperamentally not viable as companion animals, their capture from the wild entails a huge amount of deaths and environmental degradation, and the international wildlife trade, at $10 billion per year, is second only to, and is closely intertwined with, the global drug trade. The root cause is the demand, which stems from America itself. ]

[ Anthony Marr will first list the 7 Planetary Diseases, all caused by the dual factors of human population and per capita environmental impact, which includes global warming. Then, he will use collapsed and extinct civilizations, including Easter Island, the Pitcairn Archipelago, the Anasazi (NM/CO) and the Maya civilization (Meso-America), as microcosms and analogies of the not-too-distant-in-the-future Earth - an isolated island in space. He will then conclude with an urgent warning in the form of the parable titled “The Last Three Days of Earth”. ]

[ Anthony Marr loves traveling, but he is not a tourist. Born in China, he is now a Canadian. Being a Canadian, he travels to India to save the tiger, to Japan to fight whaling and dolphin slaughter, and to the United States to battle deer extermination and even the Canadian commercial seal hunt itself. He finds campaigning in foreign lands as being much more effective than working at home, and he’ll tell you why, and how. ]

[ Anthony Marr’s forte is to think outside of the box and do things in unconventional ways. He has conceived of a new way involving interspecies communication to save dolphins from capture and slaughter, and tested it personally at Taiji, Japan. He has invented a new and stress-free deer relocation technology called the Deer Auto-Conveyor (DAC) on which he will experiment in his upcoming CARE-5 Deer Tour (see blog in www.MySpace.com/AnthonyMarr). And he will be using these new technologies in unprecedented ways.]
